Work Commission Opportunity
Please note that this is not a guaranteed reward for winning the competition. Following a thorough review of the submitted work and application form, we will contact you individually if we decide, based on a comprehensive evaluation, to commission work from you.
We view this contest as an opportunity to assess the skills of applicants and intend to connect them with individuals who have ties to U.S. publishers. This is not intended to be a one-time competition, but rather a long-term initiative that offers a potential career path for participating manga artists and illustrators.
